  • How a small speculator selling clothes became a billionaire; Crime horoscope of Saurabh Chandrakar of Mahadev App

    Amid the ED investigation into the Mahadev app scam, a breaking broke on TV channels on Wednesday afternoon that the central probe agency is going to interrogate a top Bollywood actor. This investigation is related to the Mahadev App scam. The Mahadev app scam is an alleged Rs 5,000 crore scam linked to an illegal betting ring. This is not the first time this scam has attracted attention. Earlier in August, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s political advisor and his two officers on special duty (OSD) were questioned over the matter. There has been a lot of politics on this.

    Investigation has revealed that the mastermind behind Mahadev App is Saurabh Chandrakar, a 26-year-old man from Bhilai city of Chhattisgarh. Saurabh is one of the two promoters of the company. It is learned about Saurabh that his childhood was spent in extreme poverty. To survive he had to work in a local textile shop. An interesting thing has also come to light that Saurabh was fond of betting since a long time. However, he came into limelight when he married his childhood sweetheart from a village in Chhattisgarh in Dubai for Rs 200 crore. Veteran Bollywood celebrities attended her wedding ceremony.

    Chandrakar’s father was a Grade 4 employee in Bhilai Municipal Corporation. At that time Saurabh Chandrakar’s family lived in a dilapidated house. Saurabh studied till 12th in a local school. He started working at the age of just 17. She worked in clothing stores in a building named Akash Ganga from 2014-2015. Akash Ganga is a famous place for textile shops. He earned between Rs 12,000 and Rs 14,000 every month. Even during this time, Saurabh used to bet and gamble on the phone. However, till then no criminal case had been registered against him.

    Samit Mishra, a police officer of cyber cell of Durg district, said – Now Chandrakar is being closely monitored. Chhattisgarh Police officials believe that Chandrakar was involved in illegal betting in Akash Ganga itself. He was always interested in cricket. He used to bet on sports. It is believed that many employees in Akash Ganga used to bet. It is likely that it was here that Chandrakar met Ravi Uppal (50), the second promoter of Mahadev App. Finally, by the year 2017, the police started knowing Chandrakar.

    Regarding this, a politician says that he had received a phone call from his father. The father told that his son has gone crazy betting on his laptop. Some policemen had arrested him. Since I knew his father, he requested me to do something. After this, when I tried, no case was registered. It was a minor incident but even I did not know what was going to happen.

    Ravi Uppal is said to be 24 years older than Chandrakar. By the time Ravi met Chandrakar in 2017, he had already run several small-scale bookmaking businesses in Bhilai, Pune and Bangalore. Later he came into a betting network and developed the app. In 2018, impressed by Chandrakar’s interest in the sport, Ravi signed him up. Then both of them started building a network. Within a few months, Chandrakar opened a restaurant named Juice Factory in Nehru Nagar, Bhilai.

    In 2021, when police were investigating a complaint related to Talpuri International Colony, they first encountered indications of organized illegal activity. An official aware of the investigation into the Mahadev App case said that the investigation revealed that they were running the racket from Dubai. The challenge was that as soon as there was 10 minutes of inactivity, the system would log out of Dubai. Nothing could be made out. Although we had suspicions, we had no solid evidence that it was betting.

    Finally, Durg Police conducted a second raid in Mohan Nagar on March 30, 2022. Chandrakar and Uppal were not present on the spot. It also became clear that the operation was actually a betting racket. In October 2022, the Enforcement Directorate swung into action and registered a case. The ED investigation found that the Mahadev app provided an online platform for illegal betting in various live games like Teen Patti and Poker, betting on live cricket, badminton, tennis and other sports and even betting on election results. Went.

    The ED identified Chandrakar and Uppal as the promoters. ED said that both lived and worked in Dubai. ED investigation found that the accused used to advertise contact numbers on various websites and lure people with profits. On August 24 this year, ED arrested four people from Chhattisgarh in a money laundering case. The names of these accused were Sunil, Anil Dammani, Satish Chandrakar. The fourth one was also a police sub-inspector, Chandra Bhushan Verma. ED also interrogated Chief Minister Baghel’s political advisor Verma and OSDs Manish Banchhor and Ashish Verma.

    However, all three have said that they have nothing to do with the app. Whereas BJP is the attacker. BJP says that Mahadev application is a start-up of Congress government. The Congress government gave protection to people associated with the scam. On the other hand, Congress claims that it was the Chhattisgarh Police which busted the scam. Chhattisgarh Police exposed the scam and arrested 500 people from across the country. Chief spokesperson of Chhattisgarh Congress Sushil Anand Shukla said- We have evidence that BJP had given protection to Chandrakar. I have photographs of a senior BJP leader with Saurabh Chandrakar.

    Even in Bhilai, people accept the fact that Chandrakar made money through betting. People say that during the last four years, Chandrakar has given work to many youth in Dubai. A person who lived in Chandrakar’s area said that Chandrakar had hired about a thousand people to work for him. At least one thousand youth of Durg and Bhilai are now abroad. All these were included by Chandrakar. A neighbor told that most of them were in contact with him since the initial days of betting.

  • Juice and tire seller used such a trick that Rs 200 crore started coming in daily, the story behind Mahadev App

    The name of ‘Mahadev App’ has been in the headlines for the last few weeks. First, the marriage of Saurabh Chandrakar, the kingpin of this betting app, came into discussion. Saurabh had spent more than Rs 200 crore on his marriage. He had invited big names of Bollywood to his wedding and made them dance. And now the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned many people including Shraddha Kapoor, Kapil Sharma, Hina Khan, after actor Ranbir Kapoor. After the Bollywood connection, people’s interest about this app has increased further. Do you know what was the idea behind making this app? What did the creators of this app do earlier? How much was earned daily from this app? Let us know one by one…

    Idea of ​​juice and tire seller

    Two people are the minds behind Mahadev App. First, Saurabh Chandrakar and second, Ravi Uppal. Both are residents of Chhattisgarh. Saurabh used to run a juice shop in Nehru Nagar, Bhilai. The name of his shop was ‘Juice Factory’. He wanted to become rich as soon as possible. For this, he opened shops named ‘Juice Factory’ in many cities. But perhaps he was not happy with the earnings of those shops. He had the habit of gambling. On the other side, Ravi Uppal had a tire shop. He also had the habit of gambling. Both of them became friends while playing betting.

    Everything changed after lockdown

    Both Saurabh and Ravi used to play betting offline. Due to Corona epidemic, lockdown was imposed across the country. Due to this both of them were not able to gamble. After this both of them started betting online. The ghost of becoming rich was in the mind of both of them. Both of them thought why not create an online betting app. And this is where ‘Mahadev App’ started. Saurabh and Ravi together created an app and arrangements were made to play online betting there. But this app was different from other apps. Here it was already decided who would win and who was destined to lose. Both the fraudsters laid such a trap that they became owners of crores of rupees.

    200 crore rupees started coming every day

    Actually, after coming up with the idea, Saurabh and Ravi went to Dubai and there they met a Pakistani citizen. Both of them created ‘Mahadev App’. The ED said that the duo had set up around 4,000 panel operators in India for betting. Each panel had 200 customers who placed bets. From this app he started earning Rs 200 crore daily. A juice and tire seller now started dealing in crores of rupees every day. Both of them used such tricks that within a few months they became owners of twenty thousand crore rupees.

    How did you earn so much money?

    Customers were added to ‘Mahadev App’ through new websites and chatting apps. For this, Mahadev App was also promoted on social media. This message was sent to the people that more money can be earned in less time through this app. Out of greed, people used to download this app. ED said in its complaint that people could contact the company only through WhatsApp. An employee working in ‘Mahadev App’ used to help the customers in making ID. Customers were given two numbers by the app, from one they used to bet and from the other they could talk to customer care. The accounts in which customers used to send money were fake accounts. The app was designed in such a way that the company never faces any loss. But they were given benefits in the beginning to trap the customers. With this he used to invest more money in betting. This trend was continued for a long time and when the customer invested a huge amount on this app, he would lose. He didn’t even know that he was cheated. And in this way the company started making profits worth crores of rupees.

    Saurabh got married in Dubai in February this year. Money was spent like water in the marriage. Saurabh had invited many big Bollywood faces including Sunny Leone, Tiger Shroff, Neha Kakkar to perform. Non-bailable warrants and lookout circulars have been issued against Saurabh and Ravi by the investigating agency. Also, all the big faces involved in his marriage are now on the ED radar. According to the information, Saurabh had given money to film stars through an agency.

  • If Congress comes to Chhattisgarh, it will conduct caste survey – Priyanka Gandhi said in Kanker; Accusations made against PM

    Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has promised the people of Chhattisgarh that if her party forms the government again, then it will conduct a caste-based census in the state like Bihar. While addressing the Urban Bodies and Panchayati Raj Mahasammelan on Friday in Govindpur in Kanker district, Priyanka Gandhi also promised the public to build 10 lakh houses for the poor if the government is formed.

Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘If the Congress party again comes to power in Chhattisgarh, then on the lines of the caste survey conducted in Bihar, caste census will be conducted in this state too.’

    In Chhattisgarh, the announcement is being seen as a major step to woo the Other Backward Classes, which constitute about 45 percent of the state’s population. Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, “Modi ji says this is his guarantee (to fulfill whatever he promises) but the promise of depositing Rs 15 lakh in every citizen’s bank account and creating crores of jobs is What happened to Modi’s guarantee? Whenever any question is asked, Modi ji gives a new guarantee. Their guarantee is an empty guarantee.

    Vadra said that the BJP-led central government has weakened the farmers in the country. He said, ‘Farmers in the country are earning Rs 27 per day, but Adani and other industrialists are earning Rs 1,600 crore per day.’ The Congress leader said, all they (BJP) want is to hand over the country’s wealth to their industrialist friends and then send it to the party through them. And then they keep spending (money) in elections.

    He said that his only goal is to remain in power and not the welfare of the people. Priyanka Gandhi also hit out at the Raman Singh-led government in the state (from 2003-2018) and said violence was the rule in the state during the BJP rule, while the Congress took the state out of the clutches of violence in five years.

Statistics show that a lot of work has been done for the welfare of the poor in the country.” He said that Congress and its other allies no longer have any issue, so now they are doing caste politics.

  • Danger shown in survey report! Congress can cut tickets of one fourth MLAs in Chhattisgarh

    The ruling Congress in Chhattisgarh can make a major change in ticket allocation in the upcoming assembly elections. According to the internal survey, tickets of almost a quarter of the MLAs may be cut. The party has prepared an internal survey report to avoid anti-incumbency wave. Congress is fully prepared to increase the number of women candidates in the state. Reliable sources of the party gave this information on Thursday.

    According to party insiders, the decision to remove sitting MLAs is based on internal surveys conducted by the party in the last five months. ‘Winning potential’ has been considered the most important criterion for awarding tickets. The assembly elections in the state are being considered as the semi-finals before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, the party has planned not to give tickets to those leaders whose political hold in their area has weakened.

    Sources said the list of candidates has almost been finalized and the lists will be released after the Congress Central Election Committee meeting. “This time many sitting MLAs will be removed. The party is focusing on winnability and caste dynamics. Earlier, camps used to decide certain tickets but this time only ‘winnability’ is the criteria,” said a senior Congress leader, claiming that the list will be out in the next week.

    Another Congress leader from Chhattisgarh said that most of these sitting MLAs have become MLAs for the first time. He said, “Many people who became MLAs for the first time in the 2018 elections came from jobs and social services and won in the Congress wave due to their clean image. Most of them failed to serve as elected representatives due to lack of experience. Furthermore, his domineering attitude and lack of understanding of the organization also led to factionalism within the party among party workers. “That’s why they don’t look winnable right now.”

    The number of women may increase

    Another senior party leader claimed that the party may increase the number of tickets given to women this time. Another senior leader, requesting anonymity, said, “In the 2018 elections, we have given tickets to 12 women candidates for the assembly and later in the by-election of Khairgarh constituency, another woman was given the ticket. Therefore, a total of 13 women were given tickets, but in the elections this number could be between 18 to 20.” However, sources said that some senior leaders want tickets for women to be increased but this is completely unlikely to win. But it is.

    Every community will get a chance

    Another leader said that the main focus in the elections is on the ability to win and local issues and also giving opportunities to local castes and people. The focus is on ensuring that every community is represented and regional politics are other factors that are also considered. Loyalty towards the party is also a big factor in getting a ticket.

    It is noteworthy that in the 2018 assembly elections, Congress won 68 out of 90 assembly seats in the state and defeated the BJP, which was in power for 15 years under the leadership of Raman Singh. BJP was successful in winning only 15 seats.

    The BJP, which is hoping to make a comeback in Chhattisgarh in the assembly elections to be held later this year, had released its first list of candidates for 21 seats on August 17. The first list included 16 new faces, five former MLAs and five women. This time the party has not given ticket to even a single candidate who contested from these seats in 2018.
